The Olive + Page “All The Good Things” Family Gratitude Journal is designed to instill helpful habits that raise grateful hearts. Life is full of good things, yet too often we don’t pay attention to them, and forget to be thankful. Scientific research has reported many benefits to practicing gratitude, including improvements in overall well-being and happiness.
This journal includes helpful prompts and quotes to encourage a grateful way of thinking. Connect with your family as you discuss all the good things – perhaps as you sit for a weekly dinner, or before bedtime a few times a week. Designed with flexibility in mind so you can use as often or little as you like.
Record all the good things here and create a beautiful reflection for years to come.
Gratitude practice has long been known for its many health benefits – for both physical and mental health. Traditionally, research focused on adults, but more recently, numerous studies have reported this being a powerful tool for children. Benefits include improved resilience, optimism, self-esteem, sleep, and lower levels of stress, aggression, and depression.
The purpose of this journal, however, is not just about learning these helpful habits from a young age. It’s about creating a platform for family connection. It’s about the opportunity to discuss with your children how their day went, what is going on for them, listening to how they are feeling and what they are looking forward to. This time is sacred.
In a world wired to focus on the hate, the fear-dreaded events, and the things that go wrong – let’s consciously create the time to notice all the good, celebrate the love, and remember all the things to look forward to, that exist too.

About Olive + Page
Olive + Page is a boutique brand selling elegant journals and unique children’s picture books that have been lovingly designed and created in Nelson, New Zealand. Our pages bring together values of mindful living, conscious appreciation, sharing and connectedness, and capturing moments in time – to ultimately – enhance the moments and memories we have.
BACKGROUND INSPIRATION
Olive + Page was born from a genuine desire to help others make moments count. It may be cliché, but life really does go by so fast. If we don’t stop to look around, connect with loved ones, and appreciate the current phase we’re in – before we know it, it’s gone. Whether it be through pausing to write in one of our journals, or connecting with little ones through our children’s picture books – both types of pages have one common mission: to promote presence, to increase connection, and to enhance moments of joy in everyday life.
SUSTAINABILITY
The ‘FSC’ is an international non-profit organisation, the Forest Stewardship Council, which was founded to promote the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. The FSC defines a set of strict standards, and then independently certifies that those standards have been met. This certification ensures that forest products – like paper – have been sourced in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable manner. An FSC certification tracks the whole supply chain in order to ensure that the paper or timber came from responsible sources.
The FSC also ensures that trees that are harvested are replanted or allowed to regenerate naturally. Forests must be managed with due respect for the environment, the wildlife and the people who live and work in them.
